1) 716 was the correct number when the message was sent. If you send the
command 'SET PICLIST ACK NO REPRO' to the list server address, (same as
when you subscribed), this sends an acknowledgment of your message back
to you with the subscriber totals. This saves you sending duplicate
messages when you get a message like 'I think I got this message before
coz it looks a bit like something I have' or words to that effect.
When this takes place, the author 'knee jerks' and re-sends the message.

If you set the ACK feature, you know your message got to the list.

2) I just now noticed Brian Bole answer this question in full.
He didn't metion Australia either. :-)
